How we build closeboard fencing in Stevenage
Vertical feather-edge boards on arris rails with pressure-treated posts. Standard build: 150×22mm feather-edge boards, 3-rail arris, 100×100mm pressure-treated posts. On Stevenage jobs we adjust for shared-with-neighbour fence runs are the norm — quotes need to cover boundary checks first.
Property mix locally: post-war planned housing across Chells, Shephall and Bedwell, plus older properties in Stevenage Old Town. Typical gardens: modest rectangular plots, typically flat, with rear access alleyways on the planned estates. Postcodes we regularly service: SG1, SG2.
Common Stevenage briefs
- → landlord-grade runs where a broken board must be swapped, not the whole panel
- → long rear boundaries where privacy and durability beat panel replacement cycles
